not being able to lock any helicopter unless less than 2km where they can machine gun you is the most unrealistic and disgusting thing in this “realistic” mode.

Another thread of “Lack of heli rotor signal” mechanic
Think about aircraft radars
What radar are you using that you can’t lock helicopters out to 3km minimum? The VADS is the only SPAA I know of where the lock range is that poor and it has a 2km effective range anyway so it doesn’t matter.
I think he’s talking about aircraft radars.
Sounds like he is using really early aircraft radar’s without pulse dopplers against helicopters flying at very low alts.
Rather than it being related to the helicopter itself or a lack of rotor signal its due to the nearby ground reflecting a lot of the radar signal also and the early system not being able to distinguish the helicopter against the ground
